    Completely agree with the mistakes which you have mentioned above. These are the most common mistakes which people make while choosing web host for their website.

    We can’t deny that a web host is the backbone of every successful website. So we should always take care of it. Little mistake may leads huge loss.

    Most of the beginners think that If a web host is giving FREE Web Hosting to them then they would be the right web host for them which isn’t right. It is a fact that nothing comes FREE in this world so people should understand it and should always choose the web host wisely.
